Cannot Use Two ATI RAGE 128 Video Adapters with Multiple Monitors (242883)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
This article was previously published under Q242883 SYMPTOMS
When you start a Windows 2000-based computer that contains multiple ATI Rage 128 video adapters, only one of the adapters may be used. The other adapter may be listed as disabled in Device Manager, with a status of either Code 10 or Code 31.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you install two ATI Rage 128 video adapters (such as the All-in-Wonder 128) at the same time, and allow Windows to detect them simultaneously.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior:
- Install the video adapters one at a time. Start the computer with only one of the adapters installed, and then configure that adapter.
- After the primary adapter is configured, turn off the computer, and then install the secondary adapter.
- Start Windows. Windows detects the second adapter.
- Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.
- On the Settings tab, click the secondary monitor, and then click to select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box.
- Click OK.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
